The Thyroid Problem Blocking Your Weight Loss


Listen Later

If you can't lose weight no matter what you try, your thyroid might be the problem. And, 60% of women with thyroid issues don't know they have it.

In this episode, I'm sharing my personal story of being told I was "fine" by multiple doctors while struggling with exhaustion, weight gain, and brain fog. It wasn't until I saw an endocrinologist that I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease.

You'll learn:

  • Why "within normal range" doesn't mean optimal
  • The exact thyroid tests to ask for (most doctors only run one)
  • How hypothyroidism blocks weight loss in women over 40
  • What to do if your doctor dismisses your symptoms
  • Why thyroid problems spike during perimenopause

If you're eating well, working out, and still gaining weight, this episode might change everything and give you a roadmap on how to move forward.
